😅 New Group Claims AI May Be Aware and Suffering
｢ The group, which is calling itself the United Foundation of AI Rights or UFAIR, claims to consist of three humans and seven AIs who consider themselves to be the first AI-led rights group. As the cross-organic consortium told The Guardian, that's because UFAIR was formed at the behest of the AIs ｣

So why am I not at all surprised that non-disabled people would use AI as an excuse not to describe anything via alt text and or purposefully mangle alt text to break an LLM? It honestly really shows how just careless and lack in knowledge about AI overall a lot of people are if they think mangling alt text will stop an LLM. Also, tell me you don’t have any disabled friends without telling me you don’t have any disabled friends. #Ableism#AI#AIHype
Of course the underlying issue here is that there's no thought process or awareness at play here.
Plus, I think there was a conflation of generative AI and classification by deep learning.
The #AIHype problem at play is the spreading illusion that all AI and ML techniques contain self-aware fairy dust that makes out as smart colleagues rather than flawed and sometimes problematic tools.
So, I was in an academic research meeting yesterday where someone speculated that "maybe if the machine learning tool is aware of the bias, it will correct for it."
Just one random symptom of how #AIHype of machine super-intelligence can act as a distortion of reality.

🫧 OpenAI Is Quietly Trying to Get More Money as It Burns Through Cash at a Staggering Pace
｢ There's just one wrinkle: the funds roll out in two tranches, with $10 billion dispersed immediately, and $30 billion only available if OpenAI restructures to a for-profit company. If it doesn't, the Wall Street Journal reported back in March, SoftBank has the option to withhold $20 billion, cutting the historic funding round off at the knees ｣

Is it possible to imagine a better future where we use less computation? The effects of AI hype almost demand it.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @danmcquillan so he could lay out the concept of decomputing as a different way of assessing technology.

"- OpenAI and Anthropic both lose billions of dollars a year after revenue, and their stories do not mirror any other startup in history, not Uber, not Amazon Web Services, nothing. I address the Uber point in this article.
- SoftBank is putting itself in dire straits simply to fund OpenAI once. This deal threatens its credit rating, with SoftBank having to take on what will be multiple loans to fund the remaining $30 billion of OpenAI's $40 billion round, which has yet to close and OpenAI is, in fact, still raising.
- This is before you consider the other $19 billion that SoftBank has agreed to contribute to the Stargate data center project, money that it does not currently have available.
- OpenAI has promised $19 billion to the Stargate data center project, money it does not have and cannot get without SoftBank's funds.
- Again, neither SoftBank nor OpenAI has the money for Stargate right now.
- OpenAI must convert to a for-profit by the end of 2025, or it loses $20 billion of the remaining $30 billion of funding. If it does not convert by October 2026, its current funding converts to debt. It is demanding remarkable, unreasonable concessions from Microsoft, which is refusing to budge and is willing to walk away from the negotiations necessary to convert.
- OpenAI does not have a path to profitability, and its future, like Anthropic's, is dependent on a continual flow of capital from venture capitalists and big tech, who must also continue to expand infrastructure.
Anthropic is in a similar, but slightly better position — it is set to lose $3 billion this year on $4 billion of revenue. It also has no path to profitability, recently jacked up prices on Cursor, its largest customer, and had to put restraints on Claude Code after allowing users to burn 100% to 10,000% of their revenue. These are the actions of a desperate company."
